Assistant Buildings’ addition to Retrofit, Adopt, Cure And Develop

the Actual Buildings up to zeRo energy, Activating a market for deep renovation – ABRACADABRA

Buildings:• 40% energy consumption• 36% CO2 emission in the EU• Investments need to be scaled up in order to achieve the EU climate

and energy 2030 goals

Presenter

Presentation Notes

Good morning everyone I will try to explain the strategy of this project






new buildings increase the building stock by around 1-1.7% every year

THE LARGEST CHALLENGE IS IN EXISTING BUILDINGS

Presenter

Presentation Notes

WHY A PROJECT ON DEEP RENOVATION ON EXISTING BUILDINGS? This is the percentage of new buildings: new buildings increase the building stock by only around 1-1.5% every year, while the renovation rate is 1%






• and....

• WHY?

CHALLENGE IN THE CHALLENGES….

Presenter

Presentation Notes

BUT THERE ARE ADDITIONAL CHALLENGE IN THIS CHALLENGE…. Here we see incremental actions in energy retrofit… The better we get in terms of energy performance, the more it costs






Pay back times of the investments up 30-35 years can be observed as a function of the different hypothesised scenarios

---for nZEBs up to 40 years---... CHALLENGING

up-front investments, high degree of risk, long payback times and the general “invisibility of the energy benefit”..

And the problem asks for solutions…The estimated costs of energy retrofit options indicate the need for additional tools and measures to be developed at social, legislative and market level, to counterbalance the large pay-back times of EE measures aimed at achieving nZEBs in existing buildings.

High costs in energy retrofittinghave driven some experiences at EU level (i.e. SuRE-Fit,

Reshape, Solar Decathlon, etc.) to focus on the strategy of rooftop extensions

and additional volumes whose economic value in the housing real estate market

counterbalances the energy retrofitting costs.

Activating a market for deep renovation






ABRACADABRA aims at implementing a new, attractive renovation strategy based on a multi-

benefit approach (substantial increase in the real estate value)

(NON-ENERGY RELATED FACTORS for nZEB!)

to create an up-grading synergy between OLD AND NEW ...

AIM-AMBITION






Densification A densification strategy could help providing an alternative solution to the construction of new buildings in

natural areas, contrastingthe consequent urban sprawl

At legislative urban level ABRA =punctual densification policy fostering the investments in nZEB while preserving the natural areas around the cities....

Presenter

Presentation Notes

AND THUS --- GOING BACK TO THE existing buidling stock in the EU as shown in the scheme…. We can see that ABRA strategy may result in a punctual desification policy…. WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW, AT THE LARGER SCALE OF THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT A DENSIFICATION….






TO DO THIS ABRACADABRA needs to involve the main stakeholders and convince them of the attractive potential of this renovation strategy based AdoRES in:

Design (WP2), Share (WP3), Discuss, (WP3, WP4), and amend (WP3, WP4) technical, legislative and financial toolkits (involving STAKEHOLDERS and using CASE STUDIES)

to achieve nZEBs through AdoRES +Communicate and Disseminate (WP5)

Presentation Notes

WIN WIN SOLUTIONS FOR POLICY MAKERS AND MARKET ACTORS ... ABRACADABRA aims at building confidence of groups of stakeholders (ABRA Community) on the potential of economic/financial/social gains of AdoRES in the deep renovation towards nZEBs






Barriers: CONDOMINIUMS AND PRIVATE PROPERTIES(major legal obstacles exist in relation to add-ons. They are linked to property rights, tenancy and condominium law as well as local and urban planning rules)

TECHNICAL AND CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES there is a lack of confidence on technical feasibility of AdoREs(load bearing of buildings, which were not conceived for these additional volumes) yet AdoREs may assume different configurations, depending on buildings’ type, structural conditions and urban capacity (aside or façade addition, or entire new buildings -the assisted buildings-)..

Presenter

Presentation Notes

We are well aware of the real and potential barrier…. Each category of stakeholder is linked to a special category of barrier

Feasibility Studies (WP2): Shallow vs Deep renovation scenarios in existing buildings and cost-benefit assessment, considering: i) Nearly zero Energy targets; ii) Costs and cost-benefit analysis

Presenter

Presentation Notes

We see ther possibility here in a real building how many combination with standard and no-standard retrofit option …. Do exist they are up to






PUBLIC AND TERRITORIAL BODIEScurrent regulatory environment often does not permit these kinds of interventions. Yet, in some countries public-private agreements have been introduced to incentivize the private market uptake of deep renovation… To sum up: Need to struggle against the general lack of dialogue among the stakeholders. To react to the Technical, Legislative, Financial and Socialgaps, ABRACADABRA will: enhance the architectural and estate asset value of the selected case studies and future promising ones, and will virtuously promote policy-led, market-led, social-led actions

In all these cases… attention to permaeable surfaces --- big potential of using residual natural or potentially natural areas- EVEN INCREEMENTING but in ANY CASE PRESERVING the existing permeable surfaces






High transformations in EE retrofitting operationsAgainst higher initial costs can balancethe economic investmentUp to set to zero the costs of standard energy retrofitting

Why do we believe in the nZEB feasibility through AdoRES?

Other advantages - not quantified here- still remain…

We aim at start from selected buildings and areas in peripheral… Up to reach the possibility to balance the consume/production of energy with the core of our cities From the outside.... from the most abandoned and at the same time full of potential areas which are the peripheral areas around the city boundaries. Up to reach the possibility to balance the consume/production of energy with the core of our cities Synergy between old and new:�
